Moby Dick (1851), is now considered one of the classics of American literature.one of Herman Melville’s main works. Herman Melville when he was the eighteen-year-old young man,he shipped out to sea,first on a short cargo trip,then,at twenty-one,on a three-year South Sea in venture.From the experiences accumulated on this voyage would come the material for his Moby Dick. Moby dick was about Captain Ahab hates Moby Dick--“the white devil”--because he lost a leg to the white whale in a fight. Now Ahab, the captain of a whaling ship,can only think of one thing.He has to find Moby Dick and kill him. Many of the other sailors on the ship don't know about their captain's plan.Ishmael is a young sailor and this is his first whaling job. He and his new friend,Queequeg,sail with Captain Ahab on this exciting-and dagerous--trip.Also on the ship are Starbuck,Srubb,and other whalers from different countries.He is prepared to sacrifice everything, including his life, the lives of his crew members, and even his ship to find and destroy his nemesis. A section of "Whaling and Whalecraft" features prose and graphics by John B. Putnam, a sample of contemporary whaling engravings, as well as, new to this edition, an engraving of Tupai Cupa, the real-life inspiration for the character of Queequeg. Evoking Melville’s fascination with the fluidity of categories like savagery and civilization, the image of Tupai Cupa fittingly introduces "Before Moby-Dick: International Controversy over Melville," a new section that documents the ferocity of religions, political, and sexual hostility toward Melville in reaction to his early books, beginning with Typee in 1846. The image of Tupai Cupa also evokes Melville’s interest in the mystery of self-identity and the possibility of knowing another person’s "queenly personality" (Chapter 119). That theme (focused on Melville, Ishmael, and Ahab) is pursued in "A...

...global warming issue.
“Liter of Light” operates with the theory of solar energy with using several materials. Solar energy is one type of popular renewable energy. Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun, has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. This technologies use the sun’s energy and light to provide heat, light, hot water and electricity for homes, business and industry.
Current renewable energy industries are not that supported by today market due to its high costs of installation and equipments fees. Besides, current renewable energy products marketing efforts is not strong and the customers are lacking of understanding to the products.
The idea is focusing to the following:
* Strengthen the attention of global warming issues
* Provide an alternative for renewable energy products

...importantly sustainable, but how did such an amazing idea come about?
The concept was first conceived in 2002 by Alfredo Moser, a mechanic in Sao Paulo, Brazil, to light his workshop when his neighbourhood was suffering energy shortages, enabling him to continue working. His neighbours, intrigued by the idea, soon started following suit, adding the bulbs to their homes in kitchens, bathrooms and living areas where electric light was prohibitively expensive and inefficient.
The bottle bulb revolution was then further enhanced by The “MyShelter Foundation”, which runs a program in the Philippines called “Isang Litrong Liwanag: a Liter of Light”. Based on a project developed by students at MIT under the Appropriate Technologies discipline, the project aims to bring sustainable, affordable lighting to the underprivileged rural communities in the country. A Liter of Light aim to bring light 1 million homes using this green technology not only in the Philippines but in shantytowns in India, Africa and other southeast Asian countries, by the end of 2012.
Solar bottle bulbs are usually made out of 2-L bottles, use no electricity and produce the same amount of light as a 50- to 60-watt incandescent bulb, there is no leakage and the bottles can stay there for years without any need for maintenance! The water bottle lights are said to last for 5 years.
The concept seems so simple but how does it work?
The lights work by refracting sunlight in a...

...﻿Why do you feel sympathy for Lennie?
In the novel, Of Mice and Men, Lennie can be portrayed as a sympathetic character. Throughout the play, Steinbeck uses the repetition of the same characteristics to make Lennie a rather flat, simple and childlike character. Steinbeck uses different features such as his physical strength, his naïve behavior and also his optimistic view of things.
Lennie has physical strength but has no control and understanding over it. When he tries to pet soft things he ends up killing them. Steinbeck never portrays Lennie as a killer as he never tries to kill anything in cold blood. Throughout the novel Lennie kills different things and always feels regret afterwards. In the novel George says ‘Lennie never done it in meanness. All the time he done bad things, but he never done one of em mean”’. This shows How George feels sympathy for Lennie as he always manages to get other people upset at him and always manages to get himself into trouble but Steinbeck is showing the reader though George that he never means to cause trouble and he often held back and get in trouble due to his simplicity and childlike mind.
Steinbeck uses characters around Lennie to make the reader feel sorry for Lennie. In the novel apart from George, no one else really cares for Lennie. He shows us how the characters feel and act towards Lennie as a character. Lennie, .along with Curley’s wife, candy and crooks are considered to be the weaker characters in the novel and when...
